Bill OâReilly was the featured speaker at the National Society of Newspaper Columnists (NSNC) conference on Friday, where he, I kid you not, complained about opinionated news dissemination.
OâReilly contended that many newspapers are losing circulation because theyâve allowed the âliberalâ ideology of their editorial pages to âbleed into news coverageâ — despite, he said, there being a greater number of âtraditional conservativesâ than liberals in the American population.
Yes, if thereâs one thing OâReilly and his network understand, itâs the importance of keeping a clear distinction between news reporting and opinion journalism.
